Message-ID: <1992Nov12.004814.22770@news.nd.edu> Sender: news@news.nd.edu (USENET News System) Organization: OUC, University of Notre Dame References: <11NOV199218250599@stars.gsfc.nasa.gov> Date: Thu, 12 Nov 1992 00:48:14 GMT Lines: 13 I recently switched from an ESDI setup to a SCSI setup. On reinstalling linux from SLS ver 0.98pl1 i got numerous floppy overrun/underrun errors... retrying, etc. This happened both when I was mkefs -c -ing the drive, and on the install from floppies. I don't remember this happening when I installed on the ESDI drive. My new controller is a Ultrastore 14F. But everything seems to work in the end. I have X and all up and running, so I guess the retries worked, but anyone know why I might have gotten these errors or whether its serious or not? -- Teresa Selling South Bend, IN
